There are passages in this book that make me squeal in happiness.
Sometimes I imagine there's a clerk sitting behind a desk situated between the brain and the mouth, whose job it is to examine utterances, and either stamp them with approval or send them back for reconsideration. If there is such a clerk, mine must be very harried and overworked, and sometimes he just lays his head on the desk in despair and lets things pass without a second glance.
This, among others, keeps dragging me back to read and reread the whole series.

"My artistic, keen-eyed love, my angel of the pencil. Can you record it?"
Absolute favorite, hands down. I've loved all of them, but this one was absolutely captivating. This series is particularly good at combining the science of the naturalists with the intricate, detailed worldbuilding of the places that they explore along the way. You would think that my favorite would have been the last one, because I'm an absolute sucker for ships and ocean voyages, especially ones that end in dragons. But the Labyrinth of the drakes was so gorgeous, both in descriptions and sketches. The desert adventurer thrilled the part of me that was dazzled by ancient Egypt and movies like The Mummy in my formative years. The sand storms! The horror of the captive dragons! The ancient temples! I was so pleased with every page, and forgive me for saying it, but the romance in this one was far superior to the one in the first book. They're just so well-suited to each other, it's impossible for the giddiness not to rub off on you. I am looking forward to the last book so, so much.
